Samaritans
Helpline: 0800 726 666
|
The New Zealand Samaritans is a confidential listening and support telephone service operating 24 hours a day for people who may have feelings of loneliness, depression or even be contemplating suicide.
Samaritans do:
- listen and help people talk through what’s troubling them
- offer compassion and understanding
- offer callers confidentiality and anonymity
- discuss options
- offer support and encouragement
Samaritans don't:
- give advice.
- provide counseling.
- solve people’s problems. Samaritans don't focus on the problem; they respond to the person.
- make referrals, but they are ready to listen and continue to support callers in need of a listening ear.
Their website offers an anonymous forum for discussing a range of topics from depression to alcohol and drug abuse to sexuality issues to bereavement.
While most of their work is over the telephone, some Samaritans branches also offer a service for visitors to their centres, where they can meet and listen to people in person. It is a good idea to ring the helpline 0800 726 666 and arrange a time.
The New Zealand Samaritans service is a charitable organisation and is headquartered in Wellington. There are six Samaritans offices across the North Island and they can be contacted directly if you prefer.
